Bear Lavender Earl Grey Macaron Carousel

Presenting my last post and last macaron carousel for the year...A beary cute macaron carousel! A young lady wanted me to make this for her boyfriend's birthday which falls on the last day of the year. This customized carousel includes things that are special to them...bears, hearts and a duckie :). It's the first time I am including a fancy macaron as a decorative piece right at the top of the carousel. I used the reduced-sugar macaron shell recipe. Both regular and reduced sugar...

‘Lego Friends’ Soy Milk Chiffon Cake (Non-reduced egg yolk recipe)

I made this very sweet ‘Lego Friends’ cake a while back for my friend’s lovely daughter. The colour palette followed the ‘Lego Friends’ theme closely – sweet pastel girly shades.  For the yellow base cake, I used Soy milk chiffon recipe from ‘Unicorn’ Soy Milk Chiffon, but non-reduced egg yolk recipe because instead of a whiter cake, I required a yellow Lego cake, so here 5 egg yolks were used. The taste will be slightly more 'egg-y' than a reduced egg yolk recipe. My friend...

Angels on Pandan Kaya Gula Melaka Sponge & Pudding Logcake

This is the third consecutive year I have been making logcakes for my extended family and Susanne's family. It seems to have become a tradition 😜! As usual, my preference is to make Christian themed Christmas bakes for my loved ones because that's what Christmas is really about -- good news of God's salvation plan through the birth of Jesus. I have decided to make angel macarons to adorn the Pandan kaya gula melaka sponge and pudding logcake that I have made. Why angels? Because they...

'Tang yuan' White Glutinous Rice Flour Chiffon Cake

We’ve heard of Black glutinous rice chiffon cake (Pulut hitam chiffon cake), but what about White glutinous rice chiffon cake? This is one experimental flavour that I had been wanting to try for a long time, as I love 'Tang yuan' (sweet glutinous rice balls). I made the glutinous rice flour chiffon cake with pandan ‘Tang shui’. The resulting flavour is very fragrant, with glutinous rice and pandan fragrance/flavour, and sticky chewy feel of glutinous rice! My 2-year old loved it so...

Pink Unicorn Macaron Carousels

I have so many requests for unicorn macaron carousels that I have decided not to post some of them as separate blog posts because the designs are more or less the same 😅. But this particular one got an extra "Awww..." reaction from me because of the sweet pastel rainbow letterings of the birthday girl's name on it. It looks so sweet I thought I have to share it :). I filled it the same way as this pink carousel, with lavendar and Earl grey white chocolate filling. Creating the name...

‘Mistletoe Ring’ Rainbow Bundt Chiffon Cake

December is my favourite time of the year because of Christmas! Since the chiffon cake has a tube hole in the centre, I thought it was perfect for making a Christmas ‘mistletoe ring’ or ‘wreath’! Last year, I thought to use the pretty bundt shape for an improved ‘wreath’ shape. I tried baking chiffon cake in a silicone bundt and shared that the bundt allows chiffon cake to grip well onto it, such that the texture is soft and fluffy like normal chiffon cakes! If you don't have silicone...

Tea and Neapolitan Iced Gem Biscuits (updated Earl Grey Salted Caramel gems recipe)

It's been some time since I had a request for iced gems so I am glad to take a break from macarons to make these :). Earl Grey salted caramel, Neapolitan and Lavender flavours were requested. You may find the recipe for Neapolitan iced gems from here and Lavendar iced gems from here. The old Earl Grey salted caramel gems recipe can be found together with the Neapolitan one. Ever since I discovered Earl Grey tea powder, I have been using it for a range of bakes but have yet to use it...
